Your assistance and efforts in the judging of exhibits is part
of a process that begins with the entries as early as June and ends
when all checks are mailed and books balanced in November. Your
role in this process is important and far-reaching in the Mid-Michigan
area.
The Fowlerville Family Fair is grateful to you for your support
and invites your comments and suggestions for future changes or
improvements.
Competitive exhibits at the Fowlerville Family Fair are on
display to the public and for judging competition as a Fair Show. These
exhibits are not intended to be displays of professional talents (except
in a few cases where stated in the Premium Book) but are to be
considered as competitive efforts by amateurs trying to do a good job.
Judges are asked to keep this concept in proper perspective
when it comes to placing based on the type and quality of display
entered in the particular classes being judged. Please do not base your
consideration on predetermined standards of another show. Exception
to this would be in livestock departments where a standard of
perfection or a breed standard exists.
We should keep in mind that Fairs are a neighborly
competition type of happening. Therefore, judging should take place
along this same thinking. Judges need not award a premium where
there is no merit even if there is no competition. Where there is partial
merit, an award may be made accordingly.
The procedures outlined herein are used in all Departments
of the Fowlerville Family Fair and are put forth here as a guide to new
judges and a reminder to returning judges.
All entries for competition at the Fowlerville Family Fair are
made on entry application forms supplied by the Fowlerville Family
Fair. This form asks for all the information regarding Department,
Division, Section and Class of entry plus the description as found in the
Premium Books.
The entire competitive exhibit record keeping process is
computerized for accuracy and convenience of the exhibitor, the
Judges and the Fair Staff.
For each exhibit class at the Fowlerville Family Fair, several
thousand in all, we have prepared a separate form in advance of our
judging schedule called a Judge’s Sheet. This computer form lists
complete Department, Division, Section, Class and description as in
the premium book as well as the premiums and placing offered for
competition. Also listed on the Judge’s Sheet will be the Exhibitor
number of Exhibitor having an exhibit entered in the class listed. Once
all entries are in and all have been checked for entry on the judge’s
sheet, the Department is ready to be judged. At this point the
Department Helpers will work with the judge and indicate the class to
be judged and how many individual entries have been placed for the
judging in that class. The judge should complete the judging of that
class and give the results to the Department Helper using the
individual exhibitor number on each exhibit as the means of
identification. It is of utmost importance that the correct results of the
judge’s decision be recorded accurately by all people involved. This
becomes the official judging record and is the only way verifications
can be made in responding to judging complaints and State Audits. It is
extremely important that the judge develops a smooth working
procedure with the Department Staff at all times to minimize errors and
omissions.
occasioned by any animal owned or exhibited by him or arising from
the acts or negligence of any servant or employee of such exhibitor.
23. For space on grounds, buildings or tents contact the Fair Office or
Superintendent in charge.
24. Exhibitors desiring to erect separate buildings or requiring
additional work on the building already existing must notify the
Secretary. In all cases the exhibitor must bear the expense.
25. Special rules at beginning of departments take preference over
general rules.
26. Only two (2) premiums will be awarded to any one livestock exhibit
in any one class unless otherwise stated.
27. After 4-H, open class adult and youth entries close, you may
not change or switch Department, Divisions, Sections or Classes.
28. Special Offers – The Fowlerville Family Fair is not responsible for
payment of Special Offers by various associations and individuals.
29. EFFECTIVE FOR THE FOWLERVILLE FAMILY FAIR – YOUTH
EXHIBITORS. The age for participating youth shall be those who attain
the age of nine (9) during the calendar year for livestock. For explicit
rules on open youth livestock refer to the Livestock Departments. Age
requirements on non-livestock exhibitors are 5-19. For explicit rules on
open youth non-livestock, refer to Open Youth Division.
30. The Fowlerville Agricultural Society has an Animal Health Protocol
and Emergency Quarantine Plan in place. To view a copy of this
please see website www.fowlervillefamilyfair.com or request a copy
from the Fair office.
31. Michigan law (Animal Industry Act 466 of 1988, section 287.711b)
requires ALL sheep and goats to be officially identified PRIOR to
movement off their home premises’.
The following link identifies the list of different types of
identification recognizes as official USDA Scrapie Program
Identification for sheep and goats in Michigan:

be found at:

and%20You%20Brochure%20(ASI).pdf
32. The fair reserves the right to pro-rate or eliminate premiums if
funding is not received from the State of Michigan or fair receipts
are insufficient to pay expenses.
JUDGES
1. Judges will examine the premium list and rules with care. They will
in no case award a premium where there is partial merit. Second
premium may be awarded although no first premium may be given.
2. Judges are requested to render impartial justice both to the exhibitor
and to the Society, observing that is not the purpose of full and ample
justice to worthy exhibitors.
3. Judges will permit no person to interfere while at their work.
Competitors interfering with the judges will forfeit their right to the
premiums.
4. No exhibitor can act as a judge in any department in which he is an
exhibitor or in which he is in any way interested.
5. Superintendents are requested to verify the awards of the judges in
the presence of all competitors. They will correct any errors, if any
have been made, before returning the judges book to the Secretary.
6. Judges will receive their charge by the Fair Board.
GUIDE TO THE JUDGES: The Department Superintendent should not
enter into any of the judging processes or procedures except to assist
in locating all exhibits and determining when all assigned judging has
been completed. We ask the cooperation of all judges in this matter
and encourage each judge to alert the Fair Office to violations or
interference. The Judge is expected to abide by all rules, regulations
and guidelines as specified in the Fair Premium Book. The general
rules and specific department rules are found in each premium book
published by the Fowlerville Family Fair.
Following the competition of judging and recording of the
results, the judge is finished with that particular assignment (some
judges have several assignments).
For information only – the balance of the record process
goes like this. The Judging results are entered into the computer for
tabulation of premium statement and premium check for each
exhibitor. The computer prints out all statements and reports. All the
records relating to the premium statements must be kept on file by the
Fair at least 4 years for State Audit.
EXHIBITORS NOTICE – HOW TO ENTER YOUR EXHIBITS AT THE

Fowlerville Fair Queen Responsibilities:
If crowned the 2016 Fowlerville Family Fair Queen, your week will be filled with much excitement as well as
responsibilities. Your main role is to promote and represent the Fowlerville Family Fair. During the Fair you will be asked
to walk around and greet fair guests and hand out awards at various shows and events. You will be asked to attend the
“Special Days” of the fair including Ladies Day, Senior Citizen Day, Kids’ Day, and many other events. Each evening of
the fair you will be asked to introduce the Grandstands events. If for any reason you are unable to take part in these
events the First Runner-up and possibly the Second runner-up will be asked to fulfill these duties. (A schedule will be
provided)
Your reign as Fair Queen is not over at the end of Fair week. You will be asked to participate in multiple parades and
events. The list is ever growing; (additions may be added at a later time)
-Howell Melon Festival
-Fantasy of Lights Parade
-Christmas in the Ville Parade / Festivities
-Howell Memorial Day Parade -Hartland Memorial Day Parade
-Red Cedar Jubilee in Williamston
th
-Multiple 4 of July Parades
-Grand Openings and events of Fair Sponsors
You are not limited to this list alone. Please feel free to add any events of your choosing. All we ask is that you clear
events with the Fair Queen Committee and possibly with the Fair Board. The Fair Queen Committee has access to a
vehicle for most parades. However, if you do have your own form of transportation for the parade (convertible, float,
horse, etc…) please advise the Fair Queen Committee.
Attending the 2017 Fowlerville Family Fair to crown the incoming Fair Queen will also be requested.
Additional Requirements: Please provide an 8x10 photo to be displayed on the fairgrounds for years to come. Provide a
write up for the 2017 Fowlerville Family Fair Official Guide describing your year as the Fowlerville Family Fair Queen.
You will be provided a list of sponsors for the Fair Queen Contest. Please send Thank You notes to them. They have
been very gracious with their sponsorship.
If at any time the Fowlerville Family Fair Board of Directors feels you are misinterpreting or not positively promoting the
Fowlerville Family Fair, they reserve the right to ask you to step down and the First Runner-up would fulfill the year as the
Fowlerville Family Fair Queen.
